Editorial Style guide for HSE

Editorial style guide for HSE authors, set in a Word template to streamline the publishing process.

Working with other member of HSE's editorial team, I helped update the editorial style guide to bring it in line with recommendations by the Government Communications Service (GCS) and www.gov.uk, the UK Government's main webportal.

As well as instruction on correct editorial style, the guide was produced using my previous Word template, giving authors the ability to provide text to the design department with a higher level of consistency and accuracy than ever before, and saving time in the overall production of publications.

I have been an advocate of working in this way for many years, seeing the obvious beneifits of presenting text in a way that makes the designer's job easier and more straightforward. One of the many advantages of being both a designer and an editor.
